"You're wasting your time. But more importantly, you're wasting *my* time. There was an exploratory committee that looked into this matter weeks ago."
"Yes, but they wanted an independent investigator. I'm not affiliated with the hospital."
"Fantastic. Well, I'll tell you what I told them: I don't know. Happy?"
"You must have some clue."
"Did I stutter just then? Because I thought I was speaking clearly. I mean, did it ever occur to you to talk to the people in the pharmacy department instead of harassing the nursing staff? They might know a thing or two about missing drugs."
"OK, who should I talk to there?"
"Dr. Jacobs. Can you find your way down there or should I get an intern to come and hold your hand?"
He could feel her gaze tunneling into his back as he fled the office.
